AN APOLOGY 
We apologize to our past and potential customers for not issuing 
our usual type of catalog. We are economizing this year, so that we 
may put out a much finer catalog in 1951. All of the varieties, with 
few exceptions, that were described in our 1949 catalog are included 
in this price list. The thousands of former customers who have last 
year’s catalog will find it of great service in ordering this year. These 
catalogs have been exhausted, we regret to say. We are including 
many new and exciting varieties of great horticultural merit in this 
price list. They will be described in full next year, but don’t miss this 
opportunity to get a start with them this year. You will notice that a 
whole new section on that fine perennial, the bearded hardy iris, has 
been included for the first time. 
A PROMISE 
Our economizing this year should allow us to produce a much finer 
catalog in 1951 than we have ever sent out before. We are planning 
to use many more pictures and color printing for the first time. 
A GUARANTEE 
We will continue to send our customers absolutely only the finest 
bulbs available in the world, as we have done in the past. We know 
that many faithful customers of past years wait for our catalog before 
ordering for spring planting and you may rest assured that, again this 
year, we will supply you only those top-notch bulbs which have produced 
such spectacular results in the past.
